visiting some friends this weekend in TN. I am from Ontario, Canada and we have no hills in my area just overpasses. so i am doing this ride on saturday. this will be my first real ride in any type of hilly area. i plan on not stopping and hopefully having a good time. anyone who wants to join is welcome.

and welcome to the bluegrass state!
that area is beautiful, with rolling hills and the trees will be beautiful this time of year.
just be sure to be aware of your surroundings, people in those parts arnt always the friendliest to guys wearing spandex and bright colors... keep right and in the median when safe to be there.

BTW, I know what you mean about the dogs. Does anyone in Tennessee own a dog other than a Pitbull?

all these backwoods types have all these dogs to protect s%^%t they dont have. un freakin believeable. oh yeh forgot to mention that my 50 mile trip turned into 69 miles after i got lost. all is good now it wasn't all a loss. if i didn't go for the ride i would have thought i missed out on the best ride of my life.
